With less than two weeks until the voter registration deadline for the presidential election, both parties are battling it out on the streets to build up their voter rolls.

Already, since the start of the summer, Democrats have been winning the voter registration battle. Since May until the start of September, Democrats had added 96,000 voters compared to 81,000 for Republicans.

The growth in voters with no party affiliation continues to grow. Those voters increased by 82,000 since May, while people registering with other minor political parties grew by 4,000.
